Haven T: Immigration and Quebec Identity

haven t: Dominique Anglade abandons CAQ over identity, immigration views Leader François Legault announced his party newest idea in Saint-Jérôme Tuesday, the last day of caucus meetings ahead of the fall parliamentary session, according to CBC. He said thousands of immigrants haven't mastered French and haven't entered the job market. "We have to open our eyes. The right-leaning party says it would reduce the province immigration threshold by 20 per cent, from 50,000 to 40,000 people per year. We have a real problem," he said. In April, Immigration Minister Kathleen Weil said the provincial government is planning to keep the threshold at 50,000 people for 2017. When asked whether current immigration policies threaten Quebec identity, Legault said that he can "objectively" see that certain people who live in the province "don'tadhere to a fundamental value,equalitybetween men and women." However, Legault said he still believes the majority of Quebecers believe in that equality. "But we have to be careful, we have to ask questions, like the ones they're asking in Europe," he said.
